LGBTQ travel guide: Rome
When most people think of Rome, they think of the religious customs and traditions most closely related to the city rather than Gay Rome travel. Despite being more conservative than many other Italian cities, Rome comprises a abundant and diverse culture that includes a thriving lgbtq+ scene. There has been a wide variety of gay bars, events, and clubs popping up in and around the urban area recently, some of which rival the best homosexual scenes in Europe.
Gay Rome neighbourhoods
Italy as a whole is rather progressive when it comes to Homosexual rights and freedoms. Still, despite being the capital, Rome is lagging behind a little because of its conservative and religious background. With this in mind, consider keeping universal displays of affection to the bare minimum when outside of the queer spaces in the city.
Gay Street
The first stop for many gay tourists heading to Rome will be Gay Street (otherwise established as Via di San Giovanni in Laterano). You’ll find Gay Street directly opposite the Colosseum, and although it isn’t entirely geared towards the homosexual
Gay Bars in Rome
Maybe you wonder why this list of gay bars in Rome is so short. One reason is that pure bars just for drinking and socializing are less common in Italy. When Italians see their friends, for instance, eating together plays a more important role.
If they go out to the queer scene later on, it's rather to the parties or cruise clubs.
Some gay bars, partys and clubs in Rome call for a membership card. Often that is the ARCO (Anddos) card. If you don't have an ARCO card yet, you can usually acquire it ( €) at the entrance of the venues that oblige the card. When you acquire the card you demand to show your photo ID, after that you only need the membership card.
Coming Out
Daily –
Gay bistro-cafe and cocktail lounge. Its lane terrace – from which you can see a part of the nearby Colosseum – is very popular and busy in the late evenings, especially on Friday and Saturday. Rather immature and middle-aged crowd.
During the time mixed clientele, mainly tourists.
Upmarket gay-friendly Bed & Breakfast on the second floor.
@ Via di San Giovanni
There are a few small same-sex attracted bars in Rome along Via di S Gionvanni in Laterano (next to the Colosseum).
If you are looking for larger venues, then it’s more often the case that you will locate a gay club night hosted at a club (rather than that club being an official gay club).

Coming Out Bar
We visited Coming Out bar during Roma Celebration and found that it was a great option to dangle out during the day for drinks and food.
The food menu stood out with Paninis categorised into ‘Jock’, ‘Wolf’, ‘Daddy’, ‘Twink’ and so on. This set a smile on our confront. Of course, there are plenty of pasta and pizza options on offer as well.
For drinks, this place is incredibly justified for Rome (Rome is expensive!).
Drinks range from €5 for an Aperol Spritz, a must possess, to €6 for standard cocktails and €8 for something a bit more fancy.
In comparison, chief into the posh tourist bars and you are looking at € for an Aperol Spritz.

Rome is iconic, bustling, shrouded in history with grand monuments, has incredible meal and interestingly, has a long standing history when it comes to homosexuality…
It’s quite apt that our first visit to Rome was during Rome Same-sex attracted Pride!
